Chapter 955: Extraordinary Outsiders (1/2)

For all intelligent beings, once their fleshly bodies perished, their souls would also gradually dissipate into heaven and earth.

The same went for Lizardmen.

In fact, the Lizardmen’s souls weren’t weak at all. It was just that their understanding of soul power was still rather shallow, and so they still didn’t know how to make use of their powerful souls.

They only knew how to use their soul power to defend against soul attacks, nothing more.

Now that an eighth grade Lizardman had been slaughtered by Huang Jinnan’s subordinates, the five evil spirits rose from the Spirit Pearl, and arrived before his discarnate soul dissipated.

The faint gray discarnate soul was ripped apart and devoured by the five evil spirits in the blink of an eye.

As they did, the various kinds of negative energies that had formed right before the death of that Lizardman became nourishment that helped the evil spirits grow.

Mixed with them were pieces of memories from when he had been alive.

Thanks to the subtle connection between the five evil spirits and the Spirit Pearl, the Spirit Pearl’s soul received the memory images before the evil spirits even returned.

Most of the images were broken and disorderly.

However, Nie Tian, who was fighting seventh grade Lizardmen with the help of the Star Boat, suddenly heard a soul call from the Spirit Pearl.

At this moment, the Spirit Pearl was floating right above his head. Without leaving the Spirit Pearl, its soul sent a series of images into Nie Tian’s sea of awareness.

As the images flashed before his eyes, Nie Tian’s expression suddenly flickered.

The images clearly depicted another Lizardman realm.

The entire realm seemed dark and gruesome. There was a vast marshland, where bubbles were rising from green water. The entire marshland was enveloped in a thick, greenish acidic mist.

Three ninth grade Lizardmen were floating over the marshland and calling in their own language.

Immediately afterwards, ripples spread out from the depths of the marshland.

A very aged outsider emerged from the rippling water.

He looked very different from any Lizardman Nie Tian had ever seen.

All of the Lizardmen he had seen had huge lizard bodies and human heads.

However, that aged outsider was basically in human form, which was very similar to high-tier Demons and Phantasms.

But he was covered in scales like the other Lizardmen.

As the aged outsider walked out of the marshland, the three ninth grade Lizardmen bowed respectfully towards him and asked him something in their language.

Several eighth grade Lizardmen could be seen waiting in a farther location.

These images deeply shook Nie Tian.

“That seems to be an evolved Lizardman! Such evolution is similar to the way low-tier Demons lost their significant size and evolved into elegant high-tier Demons through countless years. That Lizardman must be the first to finish this evolving process!

“He’ll probably join this battle soon.

“Or perhaps he’s already on his way to this realm!”

Nie Tian was no longer at ease.

When they had first entered this realm, Huang Jinnan’s subordinates had said that they had peeled memories from the Lizardmen they had killed, according to which there were only eight powerful Lizardman warriors.

Now, all eight ninth grade Lizardmen were gathered in this place.

Apparently, the Lizardman that had evolved and developed a human form wasn’t here.

The Lizardmen Huang Jinnan’s subordinates had killed when they had first set foot on this piece of land had only been at the seventh grade, the sixth grade, or even lower.

Considering outsiders’ rigid hierarchy, it was very likely that low-tier Lizardmen didn’t even know of the existence of such a unique patriarch.

The eighth and ninth grade Lizardmen might have been keeping it a secret.

“Even if that human-form Lizardman isn’t at the tenth grade, he must be at the peak of the ninth grade, and only a step away from entering the tenth grade. His grade defines the grade limit of their race. He must be the most powerful individual of the Lizardman race!”

At this point, Nie Tian already had a fairly deep understanding of outsiders’ bloodlines.

Every outsider race had a so-called grade limit.

Grade limits would determine how high the experts of a race could rise in grade.
